Re: Upcoming Shows

FYI Mondo Generator is Nick Oliveri's long time side project . Wino is the dude from St. Vitus, Shrinebuilder and a ton of other bands. Savious is an awesome stoner metal band that sounds like early Mastodon and The Sword.

Re: Upcoming Shows

Yeah, pretty much. The project actually pre-dates QOTSA. Brant Bjork plays drums btw. I've seen them probably 5 or 6 times over the years, maybe more, and the shows are crazy fun. It's been a few years now though.

Re: Upcoming Shows

Aha, didn't realize it was a full tour. I know he's done L.A. one-offs quite a bit in the past. I saw a great "Nick Oliveri & friends" show many years ago that was essentially a Mondo show with a bunch of guests like Mark Lanegan and Chris Goss.

Re: Upcoming Shows

I wanted to go Thursday/Friday but its sold out Friday, so I'll be squealing with joy all through Thursday night. Really thank you, I missed out on his last set of Largo dates and was super bummed. Speaking of which, are the Largo nights like rarities sets or just regular ones?

Re: Upcoming Shows

BIG shout out to IceyHotShot for covering a ticket to Thursday night of Andrew Bird for me. Stand up guy Largo ticket service would NOT work in any way for me, with any card, to the point that I missed out on Friday night after trying a 100 times. Anywho, very excited for this as Andrew Bird was great at Coachella but an intimate solo show sounds even better, and my first time at the Largo. Looking forward to hanging out at your favorite venue watching your favorite artist!

It really depends. Bird has a fairly long history with the Largo. The last couple times he played there he performed a set mostly of tunes he was working on at the time in their early stages, which later became part of Break It Yourself. Since he was working on a new album at that time and to my knowledge won't be this go, I imagine it will be fairly different. Don't know what to expect exactly except that I emailed his manager asking if it would be a full band or solo show, and he said it would be "a bit of both, and an 'Andrew Bird and friends' type evening".

knytt, let's lobby his management to get him to play some Bowl of Fire songs. Case In Point has been a favorite of mine forever.

Also, I'm glad y'all got tickets - even if not to the days you wanted - I know you guys will appreciate the shows and it will be fun to meet up with you at or after the show. Last time I didn't stick around afterwards, but maybe there's a chance this time if I wait around I can even meet Andrew and snap a picture, which would be pretty awesome.

Re: Upcoming Shows

Unf, Bowl of Fire songs would be so wonderful, I'd go crazy for How Indiscreet. I never thought I'd hear a song of theirs, but holy shit, if it was ever gonna happen it might be at this show. Sheeit. I'll see if my Media manager can get any more info.

I will definitely try and stick around after Thursday night and freak out with you guys. This is honestly gonna be a top-10 2013 show within like the first two weeks. Unreal.
